ported the shots had done good work
and proceeded TO get some ore sacks,
and about that time Cassidy heard the
sound of something falling and the dis
appearance Of Mr.. James lighted a

answer, he then proceeded TO give the
alarm and in a few moments Super

The Law Makers Assemble.

Washington, ID. C., Dec.-6.-The
senate chamber wore a fresh andtaste-
full appearance this morning. The
floors and galleries were newly car
peted, and desks gllstened in coats Of
yarnish, which mingled family with
that of bouquets and gorgeous floral
devices which enliyened the picture.
Senator'S hegan TO arrive and take their
seats before II o'clock. Senators Stew
art and Hiscock being the first corners.
Four hours before noon the floor vas a
busy scene. Members of parties, their
friends and officers of the senate TAX
ing this occasion to exchange greetings
and compare notes. The chief topic of
conversation of the majority vas the
prospect OF q conflict over the admis-
sion of certain democratic senator's elect,
and IL early became known that repub-
licans in default of any caucus plan of
action had concluded 10 follow the lead
of their members of the committee OH
privileges of elections. These had
been informal consultations. II was
understood 1t had reached the conclu-
sion to make no opposition to the ad-
mission of Turpie, of Indiana, but to
object to the admission of Faulker, OF

nicting credentials from that state
The general opinion was that there
would be a dead lock and that the usuaI
course of opening proceedings would
not be broken.
The galleries were crowded 10 over.
